EDITOR'S PPwEFACE. 



The publishers have divided this work of 
Froebel in order to bring it into volumes of 
convenient size. The edition of Wichard Lange 
and the former English translations have the 
form and style of a music book. In separating 
the contents for this division, the mottoes, com- 
mentaries, and mother communings have been 
placed in the first volume, which may be called 
the Mother's volume. Tne" songs and music are 
reserved for the present volume, which is the 
Children's volume. What it contains is suitable 
for children's ears and voices. 

As already mentioned in the preface to the 
first volume, the illustrations are reproduced 
from the large and well-executed cuts of the 
Wichard Lange edition, long since out of print, 
and now very difficult to procure even from an 
antiquarian bookstore. The pictures in that edi- 
tion are large enough (6 by 9 inches) to show 
the minute details. In order to preserve these 
details the publishers of the present edition 
(size of page 3^ by 5 inches) have been at the 
pains of repeating and enlarging the parts of 



vi EDITOR'S PREFACE. 

certain of the pictures, making in some cases 
two or three new pictures, and bringing out 
what is obscure with greater distinctness than 
is found even in the Lange edition. Inasmuch 
as the children are expected to find all these par- 
ticulars in their study of the illustrations, and 
trace out the motives of the artist, this feature 
of the work will be appreciated by all kinder- 
gartners. 

The publishers have also enlarged the Lange 
pictures to four times the size of the original, and 
printed them on a series of charts for use in the 
kindergartens, furnishing them at a moderate 
price. 

The new music herewith offered will justify 
itself as a substitute for that which has been dis- 
carded. 

I have already stated in my preface to the 
former volume the reasons that have made it 
desirable to obtain new and more poetic transla- 
tions of these Froebelian songs. I have gone 
so far as to say that " most of the literal imita- 
tions of Froebel's poetry have contributed in a 
greater or less degree to ruin the poetic sense of 
teachers and pupils." I believe that I shall be 
sustained in this opinion by all kindergartners 
possessed of genuine poetic taste, but I think 
that the versions here offered will be found sure 
to commend themselves to all who have a " lit- 
erary conscience."

MISS BLOWS PEEFACE. 



The poems in. this volume are not literal 
translations of those in the original Mother Play, 
but attempts to cast Froebel's ideas into truly- 
poetic form. A few songs have been added, in 
order to develop the thoughts suggested in some 
of the more important plays, and a series of 
Wandering Games has been given to illustrate 
Froebel's method of genetic evolution. A full 
account of the development of these games, un- 
der Froebel's own guidance, will be found in the 
Pedagogics of the Kindergarten, pages 247-254.* 

Since most of the melodies in the original 
Mother Play have been condemned by competent 
critics, new music is given in this volume. This 
music consists in part of melodies written by 
composers of acknowledged merit, and in part 
of selections from folk-songs. A few of the best 
melodies iu the original Mother Play have been 
retained, and, finally, some of the music of Karl 
Reinecke has been used. 

Grateful acknowledgments are due to Miss 
Eleanor Smith, and to her publishers (Messrs. 
Milton Bradley and Thomas Charles), for per-

mission to use eight songs from Volume I aud 
one song from Volume II of her Songs for Little 
Children, Miss Smith's books contain songs on 
all the subjects omitted in this volume (Good 
Morning Songs, Weather Songs, Songs of the 
Seasons, Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving 
Songs, Flower Songs, Gift Songs, Patriotic Songs, 
etc.) ; and I earnestly hope that her interest in 
and generosity toward the Mother Play may in- 
crease the influence of her already well-known 
and popular collections. 

I desire also to express my sincere thanks to 
Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller for The Little 
Maiden and The Stars and The Farmyard, as 
well as for her kindness in adapting The Farm- 
yard, by Mrs. Follen ; to Mrs. Eliot for The 
Cuckoo, Hide and Seek, and The Child's Prayer; 
to Miss M. J. Garland for the poem and music of 
Play with the Limbs ; to Miss Kate L. Brown for 
The Finger Piano, and for the use of The Little 
Plant; to Miss Emilie Poulsson for permission 
to use her poems Calling the Pigeons and The 
Weathervane; to Miss Elizabeth C. Le Bourgeois 
for the poem of The Light-Bird ; to Miss Eleonore 
Heerwart for the use of The Trees ; to Mr. W, L. 
Tomlins for the use of Rippling, Purling Little 
River ; to Oliver Ditson Co. for use of Butter- 
flies; and to Mr. Fred. Field Bullard for gener- 
ous help in the revision of music. 

The folk-songs * in this collection were se- 

* On pages 161, 162, 172, 174, 176, 186, 202, 204, 207, 209, 211, 
217, 228, 240, 243, and 263. Mr. Bullard also wrote the accom- 
paniments to the songs on pages 187, 188, 198, 236, 239, and 257,

lected and adapted to the poems by Miss Euphe- 
mia M. Parker, and were arranged for the piano- 
forte by Mr. Fred. Field Bullard. Of these songs 
Mr. George L. Osgood writes as follows : 

It is with genuine pleasure I have read the selection 
of folk-songs made by Miss Euphemia M. Parker and 
arranged by Mr. Fred. F. Bullard. These quaint old 
melodies, sprung from the heart of Nature herself, are 
especially appropriate to the child life of the Froebel 
verses. The selection shows rare taste and fine instinct, 
and the accompaniments the trained musician's hand. 

George L. Osgood. 

Boston, Mass., 1895. 

Miss Emilie Poiilsson's charming volume of 
Finger Plays is a valuable collateral to the 
Mother Play. I would call particular attention 
to The Little Men, The Little Plant, and A Little 
Boy's Walk, as songs to be used in connection 
with The Greeting, Naming the Fingers, The 
Little Gardener, and The Pigeon House.

PLAY WITH THE LIMBS. 

Up and down, and in and out, 
Toss the little limbs about ; 
Kick the pretty dimpled feet — 
That's the way to grow, my sweet ! 

This way and that. 

With a pat-a-pat-pat. 

With one, two, throe. 

For each little knee. 

By-and-bye, in work and play. 
They'll be busy all the day ; 
Wading in the water clear. 
Running swift for mother dear. 

So this way and that. 

With a pat-a-pat-pat. 

And one, two, three. 

For each little knee. 

Emily Huntington Miller.

FALLING! FALLING! 

Down goes baby, 

Mother's pet; 
Up comes baby, 
Laughing yet. 
Baby well may laugh at harm. 
While beneath is mother's arm. 

Down goes baby. 
Without fear ; 
Up comes baby. 
Gaily here. 
All is joy for baby while 
In the light of mother's smile, 

Emilie Poulsson. 



THE WEATHER- VANE. 

Weathercock, what makes you go 
Round and round the whole day so ? 

'Tis the wind whirls me ! 

'Tis the wind twirls me ! 
So to all the world I show 
How the merry wind doth go. 

Pretty kite, what makes you fly. 
Up above the tree-tops high ? 

'Tis the wind lifts me ! 

'Tis the wind drifts me ! 
Tosses me in merry play. 
Here and there and every way. 

Windmill, high on yonder hill. 

What makes your sails go turning still ? 

'Tis the wind loves them ! 

'Tis the wind moves them ! 
Helps them turn the mill-stones round. 
So your meal and flour's ground. 

The wind can do so many things. 
The airy sprite on viewless wings : 
It waves tlie flag, it hends the tree. 
It shakes our curls for you and me ; 
And in our merry play we too. 
Show all the things the wind can do. 

Laura E. Richards. 



THE WEATHER-VANE. 

This way, tliat way. 

Turns the weather-vane; 
This way, that way. 
Turns and turns again. 
Turning, pointing, ever showing. 
How the merry wind is blowing. 

Emilie Poulsson. 



ALL GONE I 

All gone ! the supper's gone ! 
Wliite bread and milk so sweet, 
For baby dear to eat. 

All gone ! the supper's gone ! 
Where did baby's supper go ? 
Tongue, you had a share, I know. 
Little mouth, with open lips. 
Through your rosy gate it slips. 
Little throat, you know full well 
Where it went, if you would tell. 

Little hands, grow strong ; 

Little legs, grow long ; 

Little cheeks, grow red : 

You have all been fed.

TASTE SONG. 

When the red lips open wide, 
And you part the teeth inside. 
Then a tiny door you show. 
Where this little plum may go. 
Now the pink tongue comes in haste. 
All the pleasant juice to taste. 
Ah, 'tis very nice and sweet ! 
Fruit like this is good to eat. 

Bid good-bye to juicy plum ; 

Let the sour apple come — 

Take a dainty little bite 

From its cheek all red and white. 

What a funny face you make ! 

How your little head you shake ! 

In your look I see confessed 

That you like the sweet things best. 

Now the bitter almond try. 
Brown its shell, and hard and dry ; 
Yet within, a kernel white 
Shyly hides away from sight. 
Yes, it draws the mouth a bit. 
But it's wholesome, every whit. 
Many bitter things you'll meet : 
Time, perhaps, will make them sweet. 

All the fruits and nuts, in turn. 
Teach a lesson you may learn. 
If a thing is ripe all through. 
Then 'tis very good for you ; 
But to eat the unripe things. 
Sharpest pain and trouble brings ; 
Though they look so fresh and fair. 
Danger, dear, is hiding there. 

Nora Archibald Smith.

FLOWER SONG. 

Smell the flower, my child, and see 
What its perfume tells to thee. 
In its cup, so small and bright. 
Safely hidden from our sight. 
There an angel-spirit dwells. 
And its message sweetly tells. 

" From my tender resting-place. 
Little one with happy face, 
I am talking to thee, dear. 
Though no voice my child may hear ; 
But my perfume sweet will tell, 
Little friend, I love thee well." 

Kate L, Brown.

TICK! TACKl 

Swing, swong ! this is the way- 
Goes the pendulum night and day. 
"Tick! took! tick! took!" 
Never resting, says the clock. 
" Time for work and time for fun, 
Time to sleep when day is done. 
Tick ! tock ! " Hear the clock ! 
" Time to rest each little head ; 
Time the children were in bed." 

Swing, swong! sure and slow 

Goes the pendulum to and fro. 

"Tick! tock! tick! tock!" 

In the morning says the clock. 
" Time to wake from slumber sweet. 
Time to wash and time to eat. 
Tick ! tock ! " Hear the clock, 

" Tick, tack, tock ! " it cries, 

" Children, it is time to rise ! " 

Emily Huntington Miller.

MOWING GRASS. 

Peter, Peter, quickly go 
To the field the grass to mow ; 
Juicy grass, and hay so sweet. 
Bring them for the cow to eat. 
Lina, Lina, milk the cow ; 
Good milk she will give us now. 
Milk to drink, with rolls or bread. 
Thus we little ones are fed. 

Let us thank our friends, each one : 
Peter, for the mowing done, 
Lina, for the milking, too, 
And for milk, good cow, thank you. 
Thanks to all are gladly said : 
Baker, thank you for the bread. 
Thanks dear mother shall not miss. 
Given with a loving kiss, 

Emilie Poulsson.

And fed to the cow that gave milk each day

BECKONING THE PIGEONS. 

See tlie pretty pigeons, coming, love, to meet

Little dimpled hand, can you learn to say, " I 

greet you ? " 
Bend the rosy fingers, wave them to and fro : 
Pigeons, pretty pigeons, baby greets you so. 

Smooth your shining feathers, spread your glossy 

wings ; 
Baby loves to see you, gentle, fearless things. 
Here is grain to feed you, but, before you fly, 
Pigeons, pretty pigeons, baby says " Good-bye ! '*

THE FISH IN THE BROOK. 

Merry little fishes, 

In the brook at play. 
Floating in the shallows, 
Darting swift away. 
Happy little fishes, come and play with mo ! " 
No, O no ! " the fishes say, " that can never be ! " 

Pretty bodies curving, 

Bending like a bow, 

Through the clear, bright water.

Happy little fishes, may we play with you ? " 

No, O no ! " the fishes say, " that would never 

do!"

And here is a target, 
Ready to sell ! 
'' Wliat costs it ? " " Three halfpennies." 
" That is too dear ; 
Only two halfpennies 
Have I here." 
" Three halfpennies is just enough — 
One for the work and two for the stuff. 
Three halfpennies the buyer must pay; 
Who can not pay it must run away," 

Emily Huntington Miller,

THE NEST. 

Here's a pretty cradle nest, 

Snug, and warm, and round ; 
Cuddled in the downy bed. 
Little nestling birds we found. 
" Stay ! stay ! " the birdies say, 
" Mother, do not fly away ! " 
" Dear, so dear, never fear ! 
Mother waits and watches near." 
Peep ! peep ! Dear, so dear. 
Hush, my babies, do not fear ! "

THE FLOWER-BASKET. 

Weave the little basket, fill it up with posies, 

Roses from the garden, blossoms from the wood. 
With our birthday wishes, with our songs and 
kisses, 
Bring it to the father, de.ar and kind and good. 
With smiles and with singing 
Our gift we are bringing, 
But love is the treasure 
We give without measure.

THE PIGEON -HOUSE. 

Oh, see my pigeoii-liouse so high ! 
Come, my pretty pigeons, haste to fly ! 

To pleasant fields they swiftly go. 

So busy gleaning to and fro. 
And when they come back to rest at night. 
Again I close my pigeon-house tight. 

Here, in the home so snug and warm. 
Live the little children safe from harm. 

They pass the day in merry play. 

Through woods and meadows green they stray, 
But when they come back at night to rest. 
Father and mother and home are best. 

^Vhen evening shadows slowly creep. 
Softly coo the pigeons, nestling to sleep. 

The gentle mother, wise and dear. 

Her happy children gathers near. 
And sings to the baby on her breast, 
"The world is pleasant, but home is best." 

Emily Huntington Miller.

NAMING THE FINGERS. 

This is little Tommy Thumb, 
Round and smooth as any plum. 
This is busy Peter Pointer ; 
Surely he's a double- jointer. 
This is mighty Toby Tall ; 
He's the biggest one of all. 
This is dainty Reuben Ring ; 
He's too fine for anything. 
And this little wee one, maybe, 
Is the pretty Finger-baby. 
All the five we've counted now. 
Busy fingers in a row. 
Every finger knows the way 
How to work and how to play ; 
Yet together work they best. 
Each one helping all the rest.

NUMBERING THE FINGERS. 

The thumb is one, 
The pointer two. 
The middle finger three ! 
Ring finger four. 
Little finger five. 

And that is all, you see. 

Now we have put them all to bed, 

A quiet sleep to take, 
And softly sing a lullaby, 

Lest they too early wake. 

Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby, 
All hushed and still the birdies sit 

Upon the branches high. 
The flow'rets hang their pretty heads, 

The wind sings lullaby. 

Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.

THE FINGER PIANO. 

Listen, children dear, 
The lovely music hear ; 
Little fingers downward go — 
Hark ! the answer, sweet and low : 
La! la! la! etc. 

Rippling, sparkling in the sun, 
See the laughing brooklets run. 
Tell us, brooklet, in your play. 
Tell the song you sing to-day. 
Up and down the fingers go, 
Brooklets singing as they flow. 

Now the merry lark on high 
Carols sweetly from the sky ; 
Wide he spreads his fluttering wings. 
Showering gladness as he sings. 

Up and down the fingers go ; 

'Tis the lark's song here below. 

Thus the hand, so small a thing, 
Still may sweetest music bring. 
Fingers, you must move along, 
You may help to make the song. 
Up and down the fingers go, 
Waken, music, sweet and low !

HAPPY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 

Five brothers and sisters, 

Busy all the day; 
Light goes, night comes, 

Sleepy now are they. 

Say the prayer softly. 

Close the tired eyes : 
" May our heavenly Father 

Watch us till we rise I " 

Happy, happy children. 

Fast asleep are you. 
Drop the head ! go to bed ! 

We are sleepy too ! 

Laura E. RiciiardSo 



CHILD'S PRAYER. 

Heavenly Father, day is done, 
And the quiet night begun ; 
Thou hast kept me through the day, 
Keep me through the night, I x'ray. 

And, dear Father, while I share 
In thy tender love and care. 
Help me every day to be 
An obedient child to thee. 

Henrietta R. Eliot.* 

* The fnllowinj^ lines are suggested by Mrs. Eliot as an alter- 
native to first stanza of this poem : 

Now I lay me down to sleep : 
Heavenly Father, wilt thou keep 
Mc and those I love all night. 
For with thee 'tis always light.

THE CHILDREN ON THE TOWER. 

Two hands and eight little fingers, 

And two little Grandmothers Thumb. 
'Tis long since they met, but they never forget, 

So a-visiting now they come. 
" How do you do ?" and " How do you do ? " 

With nods and bows they say. 
" How do you do ? " and " How do you do 9 

And what is the news to-day ? " 
They tell of their making baskets ; 

They tell of eggs in the nest ; 
They tell the loves of the soft white doves 

That flutter and sink to rest ; 
They tell of the little fishes 

That wriggle their little tails ; 
They tell of the baker, the pat-a-cake maker. 

Whose kindness never fails ; 
They tell of the vane on the steeple. 

How this way and that it goes ; 
Of Peter the mower, who hour by hour. 

The grass and the clover-top mows. 



(5(? 




67 



" But all the stories are told now, 

And what, oh, what shall we do ? " 
" We'll climb the tower this very hour. 

And there admire the view." 
Thus cry the children gladly. 

But each little Grandmother Thumb, 
She courtesys so, and she says " No ! no ! 

I will not, will not come ! 
We'll go to church together. 

As good little grandmothers do. 
And there we'll wait — but don't be late ! — 

Yes, there we'll wait for you. 
And while in church we're waiting, 

A little prayer we'll say, 
And thanks we'll give for the days we live, 

And thanks for the children gay." 



68 




69 



The children climb the tower, 

And up and up they go ; 
Like fairies small look one and all, 

Still mounting in a row. 
Now higher still, and higher, 

With never a fear of a fall. 
Till one he stumbles, and one he tumbles. 

And down come toppling all ! 
And down comes the tower itself, too. 

On top of the church — ah me ! 
Oh, what a smashing ! oh, what a crashing ! 

And where can the children be ? 
See ! creeping out from the ruins 

By ones and twos they come ; 
And, deary me ! at last we see 

Each good little Grandmother Thumb. 
" Oh, bless us now ! " and, " Oh, kiss us now ! • 

And, " Listen, my dears, to me : 
Another day, whatever you say. 

More careful we all must be ! " 

Laura E. RuinARDS.

THE CHILD AND THE MOON. 

See the moon, baby, 

Riding so Mgh ! 
Will it come, maybe, 

Down from the sky ? 
" Moon, come and play now. 

Pray you, with me ! " 
" Nay, my dear, nay, now — ■ 

That can not be. 
In my blue home here 

Always I stay ; 
Yet while I roam here. 

Dear, we can play. 
Silver beams gliding 

Down to your feet. 
Seeking and hiding. 

Play with you, sweet ! 
E'en when above you 

Clouds hide my face. 
Still I will love you. 

There in my place. 
When the clouds fleeting 

Leave my sky clear, 
Bright shines my greeting. 

Loving and dear. 
If your part you'll do, 

I will do mine ; 
Yours, to be good and true ; 

Mine, just to shine ! " 

Laura E. Ricuards.

THE CHILD AND THE MOON. 

" Bright, round moon in the starry sky. 
Sailing above the steeple high, 
I am so glad your face to see. 
Come from your far-off place to me ! " 

" Dear little child, if I come to thee, 
Who will shine for the ships at sea ? 
And how will the traveller find his way. 
Unless in my far-off place I stay ? " 

" Bright, round moon, you may shine for all. 
Sailing above the steeple tall. 
Tlianks I give for your friendly light. 
Beautiful moon ! Good-bye ! good-night ! " 
Emily Huntington Miller. 



THE LITTLE BOY AND THE MOON. 

Pretty moon, your face I see 
Just above the garden tree. 
Are you smiling now for me ? — 
Moon 80 brightly smiling ! 

Yellow moon, so bright, so near. 
In the sky so soft and clear, 
I can almost reach you here — 
Moon so softly shining! 

Bring the ladder strong and new. 
Now I know what I will do : 
I will climb and sail with you — 
Moon so slowly sailing !

THE LITTLE MAIDEN AND THE STARS. 

Now the stars begin to peep 

In the sky, so pure and bright ; 
Baby soon must go to sleep — 

She must bid the stars good-night. 

Little feet are tired of play ; 

Come, my darling, come away I 

"See the mother-star, so dear ! 

With her little children small! 
And the father watching near — 

Pretty stars, I love you all ! 

When I shut my eyes to sleep 

All the night your watch you keep. 

" Father-star, so big and bright. 
Close beside them do you stay ? 

Are there posies, red and white. 
In the meadows where they play ? 
Do you shake the dreamland tree 
Every night for them and me ? 

"Mother-star, I wish I knew 

How your babies go to bed ; 
Do they run as chickens do. 

Hiding every yellow head ? 

Do you tuck them, soft and deep, 

In a fleecy cloud to sleep ? " 

Come, my darling ! while you sleep 

On your pillow, soft and white. 
Stars will through your window peep. 

Smiling, "Baby, dear, good-night ! 

Sweetly dream and safely rest 

In your pretty cradle nest ! " 

Emily Huntington Miller.

THE LIGHT-BIRD. 

Child. 

O BIRDIE, gleaming on the wall. 

Gleaming, 

Gleaming, 
Are you coming when I call. 

Or am I dreaming ? 

Mother. 

'Tis the light-bird, 

A very bright bird. 
That is gleaming on the wall. 

'Tis the light-bird, 

A very bright bird. 
But it will not heed your call.

Child. 

I've seen the moonbeams in the night 

Streaming, 

Streaming, 
The little stars that twinkle bright 

Like fireflies seeming. 

Mother. 

Like the light-bird. 

Like the bright bird, 
That is gleaming on the wall — 

Like the light-bird. 

Like the bright bird, 
They will not heed your call. 

Mother and Child. 

The sun, the moon, the twinkling stars. 

The rainbow in the skies, 
A mother's smile, a father's love. 

We catch them with our eyes ; 
We can not hold them in our hand. 

Yet from them need not part. 
For when we've caught them with our eyes. 

We hold them in our heart.

THE SHADOW RABBIT. 

Hey, the rabbit ! ho, the rabbit ! 

See, the rabbit on the wall 
Pricks his ears, for that's his habit- 
Pricks them up and lets them fall. 
Pretty rabbit, stay, now ! 
Come with me and play, now I 
No, ah, no ! he will not stay ; 
Up he jumps and springs away. 

Now the rabbit sits upright. 
Munching grass with all his might. 
See him wrinkle up his nose ! 
What's that for, do you suppose ? 
Rabbit, shall I feed you ? 
" No, I do not need you ! 
Rabbits made upon the wall 
Feed themselves or not a.t all." 



84 




85 



Down our rabbit cowers now ; 
Sure, some danger lowers now ! 
See, the hunter with his gun 
Thinks he's going to have some fun, 

Pufie ! the bullet's flying ! 

Is our rabbit dying ? 
Not a bit, for see him run ! 
Rabbits, too, can have their fun !

From the dark greenwood. 

From the forest fair, 
Up comes a gray wolf, 

Trotting here and there. 
See how lank and thin is he! 
Hungry must the creature he. 
In the wood are berries sweet. 
But such things he will not eat. 

So he goes a-hunting 

Through the meadows fair. 

Sniffing, snuffing. 

Prowling here and there. 

Wolf, you shall not bear away 

Tender kid or lamb to-day ; 

F(n* I see the hunter stand 

With his trusty gun in hand. 

Laura E. Richards.

THE WILD PIG. 

From the green oak wood, 

Where the acorns lie. 
Up comes a wild pig. 

Grunting low and high. 
Children do not often see 
Such a piggy- wig as he ! 
With his long and slender snout 
See him rooting all about, 
Poking here, and poking there, 
Grubbing up his simple fare, 
Roots and nuts and acorns sweet. 
Such as piggies love to eat. 
Hark ! a rustling in the bush ! 
Off goes piggie with a rush ; 
Grunting, squealing, there he goes. 
Where the forest thickest grows ; 
And the hunter, brave and gay. 
Will not dine on pig to-day ! 

Laura E. Richards.

THE LITTLE WINDOW. 

Peek-a-boo, light ! beautiful light. 
Shining so clear through my window bright, 
Down from the sky swiftly you fly — 
Peek-a-boo, beautiful light ! 

Peek-a-boo, light ! beautiful light ! 
Making the fields and meadows so bright ; 
Flowers in the grass smile as you pass — 
Peek-a-boo, beautiful light! 

Peek-a-boo, light ! beautiful light ! 
Love is the sunshine that makes the heart l)right. 
Pure we would be, shining like thee — 
Peek-a-boo, beautiful light ! 

EMUiY Huntington Miller. 



THE LITTLE WINDOW. 

In the water, pure and clear. 

Light loves to play ; 
In the dewdrop's glittering sphere 

Shines the captured ray ; 
But the firm and solid wall 
Gives no gleam of light at all. 



.94 




95 



Through the parting clouds on high 

Streams the sunlight there ! 
Look ! for in the brightening sky 

Shines the rainbow fair ! 
Light can turn the storm-cloud gray 
All to gold and crimson gay. 

Light is pure and good and fair. 

And it loves to rest 
Ever on the things that are 

Brightest, ay, and best. 
Then w^ith smiling faces bright 
Let us greet the loving light ! 

Laura E. Richards. 



THE WINDOW. 

" Come, lovely light, and shino on us, 

And make us warm and bright. 
You shine on us ; well gaze on you. 
For day has conquered night. 
In thankful praise of your bright rays. 

We lift our happy voices ; 
For you love us, and we love you. 
And all the world rejoices." 

" Dear child, the sun has sent me down 

To make another day, 
And help you tread the path of right 
By brightening your way. 
In thankful praise of his bright rays. 

Then, lift your happy voices ; 
For you love him, and he loves you. 
And all the world rejoices."

THE CHARCOAL BURNER. 

Why does the charcoal burner stay- 
Up in the forest by night and day ? 
He chops the trees, and he piles the wood. 
And burns it slow to the charcoal good. 

The blacksmith's hammer goes "Klitig ! klang ! 

Ming ! 
Charcoal! charcoal hurry and bring ! 
For how can I shoe the pony's feet, 
Without good charcoal the iron to heat ? " 

The charcoal burner is black and grim. 

But thanks for his labour we owe to him ; 

He chops the trees with a whack! whack! 

whack ! 
And burns the wood to the charcoal black. 

Knives and hatchets, shovels and rakes. 
Shoes for the pony, the blacksmith makes. 
The bellows blow and the hammers beat. 
But he must have charcoal the iron to heat. 

Emily Huntington Miller.

THE CARPENTER. 

Busy is tlie carpenter ; 

At liis work he stands. 
Oh, the wonders he can do 

With his skilful hands ! 
Sawing now, the long, long boards 

Shorter soon he makes ; 
And the rough is quickly smoothed 

When the plane he takes. 

By his work the crooked soon 

Straight and even grows ; 
Curved he changes into flat ; 

Wondrous skill he shows ! 
Thus he works so busily. 

But we hear him say 
" Here a board, and there a board, 

Pray, what use are they ? " 

So the carpenter at last 

All together brings, 
Nails the boards and timbers fast — 

How his hammer rings ! 
Thus a cosy house he builds 

Where the child may live ; 
And for this the grateful child 

Love and thanks will give. 

Emilie Poulsson.

THE BRIDGE. 

The brook is flowing merrily ; 

Its waters swiftly glide ; 
A little child looks longingly 

Beyond its rippling tide. 

Across the brook are pretty ferns. 

And oh, such lovely moss ! 
And flow'rs that seem to nod at him 

And beckon him across. 

But dark the water flows between ; 

The stream is deep and wide ; 
No way the little child can find 

To reach the other side. 

But soon there comes a carpenter. 

Who works with busy hands. 
And builds a bridge that safe and strong 

Above the water stands. 

" Oh, thanks to you, good carpenter ! " 

The child calls out in glee ; 
" Now I can reach the other side 

Where I have longed to be.^' 

Then on the bridge the happy child 

Runs back and forth at will. 
Although beneath, so deep and wide. 

The brook is flowing still. 

Emilie Poulsson.

107 



THE BRIDGE. 

Where the stream flows swift and fair. 

How shall I cross over ? 
In the golden meadows there 

Gaily nods the clover. 
" Bring the beam, and bring the plank ! 
Build a bridge froni bank to bank ! " 

To my friends and playmates dear 

How shall I be showing 
All the love that daily here 

In my heart is growing ? 
" You must play the joiner's part — 
Build a bridge from heart to heart ! " 

Every loving word you say 

Makes the bridge the stronger ; 

Helpful deeds from day to day 
Make it last the longer. 

Love and joy will banish strife ! 

So the bridge shall last your life ! 

Laura E. Richards.

THE FARMYARD GATE. 

Johnny, shut the farmyard gate ! 
Quick, or you will be too late ! 
Don't you hear the pony neigh ? — - 
" Let us have some fun to-day ! 
Woods and waters I can see : 
Come and try a race with me ! " 

Pretty cow says : " Moo-oo-oo ! 
Wait for me ; I'm coming too. 
I should like to eat my fill 
In the pasture bright and still 
I should like to stand and drink 
At the little brook's green brink," 

" Baa ! " the sheep say, " let us go 
Where the milk-white daisies grow 
On the hillsides, warm and steep ; 
We can nibble grass, or sleep. 
Come, old Rover, lead the way — 
You will keep us safe to-day." • 

Lazy pig, with sleepy eyes. 
On the straw contented lies ; 
Chickens peep and pigeons coo ; 
Loud the cock is crowing too ; 
Ducks in glossy feathers dressed. 
Quack and chatter with the rest. 

Hurry, Johnny — do not wait ! 
Quickly shut the farmyard gate ! 
Cow, and sheep, and pony dear. 
We must keep you safely here ! 
Bird and bee, you need not stay : 
You have wings to fly away.

Oh, what a clatter !

The sheep they hurry. 
The chickens scurry.

THE GARDEN GATE. 

Pretty garden gate, we pray you 

Open wide, and let us go 
Where the merry fountain dances. 
Where the swee^; white lilies grow. 
Open, pretty gate, we pray ! 
Open, flowers, for now 'tis day ! 

In the wind so gently rocking. 

Here the mother rose is seen ; 
And her baby buds are peeping 

Through their blankets soft and green. 
Baby buds, make haste to grow 
While the summer breezes blow ! 

Darling violets, are you hiding 

In the grass your eyes so blue ? 
Never fear that we shall harm you — 
We will only smile on you. 
Roses red and lilies white, 
Violets sweet, good -by ! good-night !

TUB LITTLE GARDENER. 

Come, children, with me to the garden away ; 
The plants are all waiting our coming to-day ; 
In heat and in sunshine is drooping each leaf, 
But the children are coming to bring them relief. 

Trinkle trink ! trinkle trink ! 

How the drops shine and wink. 
As the poor thirsty plants hold their heads up to 
drink ! 

" All thanks, little children ! " each bud seems to 
say ; 

*'A11 thanks for the love that you show us to- 
day ! 

Now beauty and perfume shall bless you each 
one, 

In loving return for the good you have done. 
Twinkle twink ! twinkle twink ! 
Now like stars see us wink ! 

For kindness brings kindness, so flowers all 

think."

THE WIIEELWRIGUT. 

M ARCH together and never stop ! 

Here we go to the wheelwright's shop ! 

Wheelwright, show ns the way you do. 

Making the wheel so round and true. 
Turning fast and turning slow, 
This is the way the wheel must go ! 

This is the auger, slim and long. 

Turned by the wheelwright's hands so strong. 

Straight and steady the auger goes, 

And smooth and true the hole it grows. 
Turning steady and turning sloiv, 
This is the ivay the auger must go ! 

These are the spokes, all shaped aright ; 

This is the hub that holds them tight; 

This is the rim of iron and wood 

To finish my wheel so useful and good. 
Turning fast and turning slotv, 
This is the way the wheel must go !

Strong, strong, strong,

THE KNIGHTS AND THE GOOD CHILD. 

Galloping fast and galloping free, 

Who comes a-riding so swift to me ? 

" Five brave knights with their plumes so gay. 

What do you seek, good knights, to-day ?" 

" Over the world- ive ride to find 

The child that is loving and good and kind." 

" This is the child so dear ! 

Brave knights, you see him hero ! " 
" O child, he ahvays good and gay. 
Now gallop and gallop and gallop away."

"Any good children here," they say, 
" Ready to ride with trumpet in hand. 
To visit the happy children's land ? " 
" Ah, brave knights, you will all be sad 
To know that my child is selfish and bad." 

" It grieves us much to say 

He cannot ride to-day. 
Only good children with us can go." 
Then away and away the knights ride slow.

Jingle! jingle! jingle! 

Hop ! liop ! hop ! 
See, the knights are passing — 

Stop ! oh, stop ! 
Now my child is happy, 

Gentle, good, and true ; 
He can go a-riding, 
A-riding with you. 
A-riding, a-riding, over hill and dell. 
But bring him back at evening, because we love 
him well. 

Never fear, my darling. 

Look, and see. 
All the knights are smiling. 

Smiling at me. 
You shall stay with mother 

Till you older grow ; 
Then my bonny soldier 

A-riding shall go. 

A-riding, a-riding, over hill and dell. 

But you'll come back at evening, because we love 

you well.

The knights come gaily riding —

Now hide thee quick, my darling. 

And nestle close to me. 
For not one dimpled finger 

The gallant knights shall see ! 

You can not have my darling. 

So do not linger here ; 
Safe in my heart I'll keep him. 

He is so good and dear. 
Now do not tarry longer. 

But swiftly ride away ! 
Peep out and smile, my laddie. 

And bid the knights Good-day !

You've left me alone. 
Who'll tell me, who'll tell me 

Where baby is gone ? 

I've missed him so long ; 

He's far, far away, 
I'll thank any one 

Who will bring him to stay. 

Why, here in my arms 

My dear baby lies ! 
We often look far 

For what's under our eyes.

Listen ! listen, mother dear. 
How tlie bells are ringing ! 

*' Christmas times will soon be liere" 
That is what they're singing. 

All the boys and girls are out 

In the frosty weather ; 
I can hear them laugh antj shout. 

As they talk together. 

All the shops with toys are gay. 

Such a pretty showing ; 
Mother, dear, this very day 

Let us too be going. 

Don't you think if Santa Claus 
Down this way were straying. 

He would stop and smile to hear 
What the folks were saying ? 

I am sure if he should see 

Just what I was choosing. 
Such a wise old dear as he 

Would not be refusing. 

Mother, dear, your little maid 
Will not fret or tease you ; 

All the year I've surely tried 
To be good and please you. 

But if I should give your hand 

Just a little squeezing 
When the loveliest doll I see. 
Would you call that teasing ?

THE TOYMAN AND THE BOY. 

" Hasten, dear father, and come with me 
The toyman's wonderful shop to see ! 
We must tell the toyman what k) say. 
If Santa Claus happens to come his way." 

" But what if Santa Claus asks me, dear, 
* Has this little child been good this year ? ' 
For books, and puzzles, and games, and toys. 
Are not for idle and selfish boys." 

" Then tell him, father, that every day 
I try to be loving and quick to obey ; 
And every year, as I older grow, 
I shall be wiser and better, I know." 

" Now, toyman, what can you show me here 
To please a child that is good and dear ? " 
" Beautiful things I have to sell ; 
I am too busy their names to tell. 



144

145 



Here are trumpets to blow, and drums to beat ; 
Here are knights and soldiers, and horses fleet ; 
Here are bows and arrows, and sleds to use. 
And games and puzzles, and books to choose." 

Toyman, listen ! perhaps some day, 
Santa Claus may be coming this way ; 
Here is a message to slip in his hand ; 
I think good Santa will understand. 

He may bring a drum, and a fine new sled 
Swift as an arrow, and painted red ; 
A pair of skates, and a book that tells 
Of knights and fairies and Christmas bells. 

But tell him, toyman, in yonder street 
Are poor little children with bare cold feet ; 
He must bring them stockings, all warm and 

new. 
And caps and mittens, and playthings too. 

And, toyman, lest he should happen to lack. 

Here is some money to fill up his pack ; 

We send them our greetings, and wish them 

good cheer 
For a merry Christmas and Happy New Year." 
Emily Huntington Miller.

THE CHURCH. 

Hark I the church bell's pleasant sound ; 

Let us go, my child. 
There, where every Sunday morn 

Rings the summons mild. 
Through the lofty windows there 
Rainbow light is streaming fair ; 
From the doors, wide open thrown. 
Peals the organ's solemn tone. 
Chorus—" Come ! " says the silver bell, 
" Come, where the voices tell 
Of the God, that dwells above. 
Of the God, whose name is love." 

Let your heart be pure and clean 

When to church you go. 
For all sweet and lovely things 
There you'll learn to know. 
Learn of God, who gives us all — 
Birds that sing and streams that fall. 
Sun and moon in glorious might. 
Trees and flowers in beauty bright. 
Chorus—" Come ! " says the silver bell, etc.

God, who sends the merry breeze 
Blowing here and there, 
■ Sends the mighty storms that rage 
Through the upper air ; 
Yet so loving kind is he, 
Every smallest leaf you see 
Knows his care and does his will. 
Owns his wisdom, working still. 
Chorus — " Come ! " says the silver bell, etc. 

In the church, so calm, so still. 

When your childish heart 
With a solemn joy doth fill. 

That, too, is his part. 
He, who loving parents gave. 
Sister sweet and brother brave. 
Gives the power to love and bless. 
Bringing joy and happiness. 
Chorus — " Come ! " says the silver bell, etc. 

Once he sent, to dwell on earth , 

Jesus, blessed child, 
From the hour that gave him birth 

Pure and undefiled. 
Try, like him, my little child. 
To be gentle, kind, and mild : 
For ^tis thus your love you'll show 
To the God who loves you so. 
Chorus — " Come ! " says the silver bell, etc.

THE LITTLE ARTIST. 






Oh, now we'll draw 

such pretty things! 
See! little birds with 

outspread wings, 
The sloping hill o'er which 

they fly 
To reach a tree with branches 

high — 
The tree these birdies love the 

best. 
Because it holds their own dear 

nest. 

That was the birdies' home, 

and here 
We'll draw the children's home, 

so dear ; 

And leading to the very door 

Are all these steps — one, two, three, 

four. 

152 



"^^ 




The window now we'll draw, where we 
Look out so many things to see. 
O window clear and bright, 'tis you 
That let the lovely light pass through ! 
When sunbeams on this mirror fall. 
The light-bird dances on the wall. 



^^ 




Now, if you could but look 

behind 
The house, this rippling brook 

you'd find. 
Where swim so many silvery 

fish: rjv_--'''^'"^"^V^., 

And if to cross the brook you 

wish. 






Why, here's the bridge, so ^^ 

safe and dry. 
Shall we go over, you and I ? '■ 



What's this ? A watering can like 

ours. 

To fill with water for the flowers. 

153 




And now we draw a ladder — see ! 
A long, long ladder it shall be. 
No wonder baby thought he soon 
With this could reach the shining moon. 




Now here's a cosey pigeon house, 
Not hid in any leafy boughs. 
But set" upon this pole so tall ; 
Here safely live the pigeons all. 
And coo with voices 

soft and low 
As in and out their 

house they go. 





Down far below them on the 

ground 
The hen and chickens walk 

around. 
And see! a rabbit next 

appears ; 

O bunny, you have such long 

ears ! 

154 




And here's the farmyard gate, _j| ^ ^ 

which we 
Shoukl always close so carefully. 



Now, for the carpenter, we'll draw 
A hammer — see ! and this sharp saw ; 

And always gratefully we'll tell ji^ — ^__^ 

About the house he built so well. 



More friends like him we 

have, so kind, 
We like to bring them to 

our mind.

Q 



So, baker, since our bread you bake. 
An oven now for you we'll make. 
And, miller, for the wheat you grind, 
This flour barrel you shall find. 



^ 



f 




Good farmer, here's your harrow ^^^:^ 



now 



We'll draw, besides, the useful ^f 
plough ; 




155 



A waggon, too, to load with hay, 
Or grain, or fruit, some 
harvest day. 




And now we draw a wheel alone. 
Where hub and tire and spokes are 
shown. 

But look! Far over in the 

sky 
A dazzling wheel shines 

there on high — 
The glorious sun, whose spreading rays 
Bring many golden, happy days. 
And when night darkens all the blue. 
The twinkling stars come peeping 

throuerh. 





Our eyes the wondrous windows 

-^ ^> 

Through which we gaze on sun 

and star; 
And sometimes what we see on 

high, 

156 








We find in beauty nearer by; 

For star shapes glitter in the snow. 

And star flowers, too, the meadows show. /^ 

And now we'll draw the moon, whose 

light 
Makes beautiful the silent night: 
Sometimes a crescent, thin and clear. 
Sometimes a big, round, silver sphere ; 
But whether round, or like a bow, 
It is the same dear moon, we know. 

Now we will draw but one thing more, 
And that shall be the big church door. 
But drawing is such happy play. 
We'll surely draw again some day. '^

All gone ! The supper's gone ! 
Busy is the Carpenter . 
Busy is the Carpenter . 
Butterflies, butterflies . 
Come, children, with me to the garden away 
Come, lovely light, and shine on us 
Come, my Baby, you shall make . 
Cover the eyes all close and tight . 
Ci-eeping, slowly creeping 
Cuckoo, cuckoo .... 
Dear little friends across the way . 
Down goes Baby, Mother's pet 
First to one friend, then another . 
Five little children. 
Five little maidens all in a row 
Fly, little bird, in the golden sun . 
From the willow branches slender. 
Galloping fast, and galloping free . 
Plark ! the church-bell's pleasant sound 
Here come riding the knights so gay 
Here stand we all united 
Here's a pretty cradle nest 
Here's Grandpapa and Grandmamma 
Hey, the Rabbit ! Ho, the Rabbit ! 
How beautiful ! how joyous . 
I hear the bugle sounding 
I lived first in a little house . 
In a hedge just where 'tis best 
In little Annie's garden . 
In the heart of a seed 
I saw you toss the kites on high . 
Jingle, jingle, jingle 
" Lady Moon, Lady Moon, sailing so high " 
Little star that shines so bright 
March together and never stop 
Merry and swift in the crystal stream 
TMcrry little fishes ■ . . .
